Fighters From District 2

Chapter 33

"What's it doing?!" I shout gritting my teeth together

"Just making sure the cuts stay there" he says. I look down at my arm and see my skin bubbling over and leaving a scar of the word prisoner imprinted in my arm forever. I look over too Johanna she face her head leaning on her shoulders. She's not with it anymore. The over to Enobaria. Her arm is begin put into a clamp maybe she didn't hold her arm still but this is her right arm. I watch the man tighten the clamp with some sort or pedal attached to the side of it. Enobaria grits her fang like teeth and let's out an all mighty roar. As her arm pops out of the socket of her elbow joint and snaps down the middle. She screams again and the man walks out with the clamp. Enobaria's arm is left dislodged and broken. She looks down to it and sees it hanging from her elbow. She can't move it. It's excruciating. They have just broken her arm. I look away and towards a sleeping Johanna. The may is looking at her and injects a lime green solution into the cannula in her hand. She seem fine but breaks out into a fit. I can't bare to watch. My pain is nothing compared to both of theirs.

We are thrown back into our cells. Enobaria is nursing her broken arm. It's bruised over green and purple. It's disgusting. Johanna looks up to me her eye is bruised and with one tear running down it. I sit back in my corner and run my the broken skin on my fingers over the scar left on my arm. Can they not tell who is in these cells? I can only see us 3. But there must be more. I look up and hear an ear splitting shriek go right through me. There must be someone else here. A younger girl. The shrieks continue for thirty minutes and suddenly stop. We all have our hands too our ears when we look up we see a young girl be thrown into a cell one down from Johanna, this girl is broken. How long has she been here? She sits crying in the corner. I crawl over. I don't recognise her at all. She has blonde hair and it has red stains in it. Clotting groups of her hair together. "Hello?" I say. Johanna pushes her self of the ground and grabs the bars. "Hello?" The girl turns around revealing her right eye being swollen shut, and he lip looks like it's going to pop with the amount of Blood in it. "Who are you" I ask. Johanna looks at the girl and stares the girl doesn't answer. We continue to look and she eventually gives in

"Emily" she says

"What are you doing here?" I asks Johanna her

"I-I don't know. They came too my apartment and they killed my family and they took me as prisoner" she says

"Well did you do anything wrong?" Asks Johanna. The girl crys harder

"No. I don't know my parents were game keepers and my brother was 3" she says. We all turn away. I don't want to know anymore. I crawl into my corner and watch the night creep in on me. Its so cold. I only were bandaged and a small sleeveless top on my legs only ripped shorts. When I was in the place where we were tortured. I wore a hospital gown. But now I wear this. Letting the dark and cold crawl in through the cracks in the wall and the small window at the end of the hall. I crawl over to the holes in the walls and peep through I try and break down the wall. Pushing and pulling. Nothing. I look through and see a guard on the other side. He has a large dog they are both in dark clothes and the dog is coal black. It starts barking uncontrollably at me. I pull away from the wall and hide. I try to sleep on the hard ground. I'm shaking from cold and aching from the ground. I even till drift off it too a dark dream.

I dream about Cato. He could be dead or alive at this point. I really hope he is alive and safe. Also going through no pain. But I wake up just before daylight and hear a male voice screaming "Cato?! Cato!" I scream. I grab the bars and start shaking them. The rattling violently of the bars wakes everyone up "Cato!!" I shout hoping he can hear me "Cato!"

"Clove it's okay. It's not Cato. It's not him" says Enobaria she goes up against her bars and tries to calm me down "shh Clove it's okay. It's not him" she says

"Cato.." I whisper

"Clove, they are only doing it too break you" says Johanna I look over too her

"What are they gonna do to break you?" I ask

"Break me. They can't break me mentally only physically. Break my bones. They will heal. They killed my family. Now they can't break me like they can with you and Enobaria" she says.

"Why did they do that?" I ask. Johanna drops her head down to the ground and starts drawing with the dust and dirt on the ground

"Because I wouldn't go along with Snows stupid plans too sell myself, he told me he would make me pay. He killed my family when I got back from the first games I mentored. I thought that would be it. But when I recovered I still refused. All the reaping bowels were rigged. That's why both you and Cato were chosen" she says

"I didn't go along with his plans. And I was sent in here. We also didn't tell him that Cato and I were dating before the games. Snow saw us as an act of rebelling against him" I say. We all go silent. Until we hear another scream. I cover my ears and go back too sleep.
